Since the late sixties, folk icon Arlo Guthrie has spent his life in a state of perpetual tourdom… on trains, planes, buses and motorcycles. Following the sold-out Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour, Arlo Guthrie hits the road once again. With Running Down The Road, Arlo celebrates his life in motion, promising to be a flashback inducing, mind-expanding adventure presenting the best of Guthrie’s material from 1969 forward. Hop on his bus and take a ride through the continuing American Revolution, flying past the 60’s counter-culture and “running down the road” to a more perfect union. The Running Down The Road Tour reunites the seminal country band and frequent Arlo Guthrie backing band, Shenandoah, to fully present Arlo’s best works from this colorful period in time. It was 1975 when Shenandoah joined Arlo Guthrie for the first of many performances together over the years. The band lineup changed until Shenandoah eventually disbanded in 1987. Arlo Guthrie has been known to generations as a prolific songwriter, social commentator, master storyteller, actor and activist. Born in Coney Island, New York in 1947, Arlo is the eldest son of Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat Huntington’s Disease, and America’s most beloved singer/writer/ philosopher/artist Woody Guthrie. Arlo has become an iconic figure in folk music in his own right with a distinguished and varied career spanning over fifty years.
